Ike & Tina Turner - Delilah's Power - Album

Delilah’s Power

Album / Single / Tour (1977)

Delilah’s Power was released one year after Ike & Tina separated, although the title track was already a single two years before while Ike & Tina were on tour in Europe. It includes many songs written by Tina Turner, some covers of popular hits and a different version of their 1970 hit single I Want To Take You Higher. The front cover is very futuristic and shows only Tina, while the pictures from Ike & Tina on the back cover were photographed by Norman Seeff. The album was originally released in 1977 and re-released after Tina’s comeback 1985 in Europe. It’s also part of the double CD Delilah’s Power / Airwaves from 2011.

Delilah’s Power

is an European and Australian single, to promote the duos 1975 tour, which started in London in October. Ike & Tina performed the song live at some TV-Shows in Europe like the German Musikladen, but never in their concerts. The American promotional disc contains a short spoken intro from Tina, but the track wasn’t released officially in North America. It’s the very last single from Ike & Tina before Tina left Ike on July 2, 1976.
